Grade 9 Up - Nineteen-year-old cabbie Ed Kennedy has little in life to be proud of: his dad died of alcoholism, and he and his mom have few prospects for success. He has little to do except share a run-down apartment with his faithful yet smelly dog, drive his taxi, and play cards and drink with his amiable yet similarly washed-up friends. Then, after he stops a bank robbery, Ed begins receiving anonymous messages marked in code on playing cards in the mail, and almost immediately his life begins to swerve off its beaten-down path. Usually the messages instruct him to be at a certain address at a certain time. So with nothing to lose, Ed embarks on a series of missions as random as a toss of dice: sometimes daredevil, sometimes heartwarmingly safe. He rescues a woman from nightly rape by her husband. He brings a congregation to an abandoned parish. The ease with which he achieves results vacillates between facile and dangerous, and Ed's search for meaning drives him to complete every task. But the true driving force behind the novel itself is readers' knowledge that behind every turn looms the unknown presence - either good or evil - of the person or persons sending the messages. Zusak's characters, styling, and conversations are believably unpretentious, well conceived, and appropriately raw. Together, these key elements fuse into an enigmatically dark, almost film-noir atmosphere where unknowingly lost Ed Kennedy stumbles onto a mystery - or series of mysteries - that could very well make or break his life. - Hillias J. Martin, New York Public Library

你有没有注意过，越是白痴，朋友会越多？

鸣叫的水壶在她看来，就是一个哭泣的小孩。

想到有人如此孤单，孤单到需要鸣叫着的水壶来安慰自己，孤单到独自一个人吃饭，我不禁有点儿沮丧。

请注意，我就好得多。

...

＂不是，我不是天使。我只是另一个愚蠢的凡人。＂

仿佛是清晨在拍手。

叫我起床。

我守在那里，从口袋里拿出一片早就忘了它存在的口香糖，放进嘴里。滋味很恶心，就像恐惧。

≪五百里≫唱完，＂宣告者＂开始为下一首歌热身，这是一首从悲伤转向快乐的歌。
